Today, we’re introducing our Academic Integrity in GenAI principles, launched in collaboration with Chegg Inc.'s Academic Advisory Board members and the UK's Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI). As universities and students worldwide are increasingly leveraging GenAI to support learning, we want to continue prioritizing responsible adoption, and these principles are designed to guide ethical GenAI use and maintain academic standards. We invite higher education groups, policymakers, and think tanks to join this important conversation. Explore our Academic Integrity in GenAI Principles here: https://lnkd.in/eaSQKWxr

How can we bridge the post-secondary credentials gap? In this new episode of the #HigherEdSpotlight, host Ben Wildavsky sits down with Western Governors University President Scott Pulsipher to discuss how WGU’s innovative competency-based model is tackling this challenge. Two-thirds of future jobs are projected to require post-secondary credentials, but too few workers hold them. Scott explains how WGU’s new approach allows students to earn college degrees for skills they’ve already mastered, fast-tracking their preparation for the future workforce. Scott also discusses WGU’s recent acquisition of Craft Education System, a technology platform that helps convert on-the-job learning into academic credits. This acquisition supports innovative pathways that integrate work-based experiences with educational programs such as degree apprenticeships. He further unpacks the role employers can play in upskilling their teams rather than hiring externally, as well as the cultural shift required to make higher education more accessible to everyone.

Building on our commitment to integrity in the age of AI, our second principle sheds light on the role of collaboration. Through working with the educational community, we ensure that our GenAI-enabled tools can effectively enhance student learning and development. Such partnerships can help us identify potential risks to academic integrity that we might not otherwise recognize. Collaboration should be an ongoing and continuous process facilitated by transparent and open communication. We are focused on identifying and establishing shared goals, priorities, strategies, and implementation pathways.

Tune into today's new episode of #HigherEdSpotlight with Harvard professor and financial aid expert Susan Dynarski! She unpacks the FAFSA rollout and the turmoil it caused across higher education, leading to a significant drop in applications, especially among first-time college students. The troubled launch of what was supposed to be a new and improved FAFSA has created frustration for students and parents. The widespread delays have left students uncertain about the future of their education and sparked headlines nationwide. In this episode, Susan explores why financial aid is essential to college access and examines what went wrong with the ambitious redesign. She also discusses potential solutions, from using tax data to simplify applications for students to the possibility of eliminating the FAFSA altogether. Listen now ?? https://lnkd.in/e58ysz7X? ?
